Grass fed beef is higher quality than corn fed beef, but much more expensive today. Many of the classic high value fish are much harder to get and further as lot of seafood is sold under the wrong name. Even Milk is now much older than it used to be. Granted pre pasteurization Milk was dangerous, but there was a period when people still got fairly fresh pasteurized milk.

> Grass fed beef is higher quality than corn fed beef
So - can I taste the difference? In what way is it "higher quality"? Is it a difference I'm willing to pay for or one that isn't really worth it? I think we've settled with what we have because the quality improvement just isn't that much, if it's noticeable at all.
I've compared many organic and local products side by side with commodity variants and found little to no difference to my tastes, so I have to wonder - is it worth it at all? Certainly not to my cheap palate at least.

Its popular to believe so, since corn is branded as evil these days. But of course corn-fed beef is tender, juicy and flavorful. Grass-fed is tougher, leaner and less flavorful. I know which one I prefer.
Deer meat is lean and considered very tasty by many, but as with any food difference people are going to defend what they are used to. However, nutritionally corn fed beef has a higher fat content and is worse for you.

Urban legend. higher fat content is not worse for you.
First I said nutrition, fat is close to empty calories. Protein poisoning / rabit starvation is possible, but for the vast majority of people low fat content is much better. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_poisoning
